Abstract:
A one month old girl with sudden attacks of fever and dehydration was found to have anhydrosis. Histologically the sweat glands were normal but the electrical resistance of the skin showed there was an abnormality of sweating. The cause of the disorder is unknown but could be due to a defect in the secretion of acetyl choline by the post ganglionic sympathetic nerves or due to a receptor defect in the sweat gland. This new syndrome should be considered in all infants with a high fever of unknown origin.
